Uefa have announced that they plan to investigate the aftermath of the Champions League match between Chelsea and Barcelona at Stamford Bridge on Tuesday night.

Cameroon forward Samuel Eto’o claimed he was racially abused by a ground staff member at Stamford Bridge immediately after the enthralling 4-2 Chelsea win. Eto’o said he was called a ‘monkey’ while Barcelona manager Frank Rijkaard and Brazilian Ronaldinho were also embroiled in scuffles near the tunnel area.

“We are looking into the matter,” said a Uefa spokesman. “We are gathering information and have received the referee’s and delegates’ report.”
